I have now had 7 sessions of trastuzumab emtansine and was just wondering if anyone else has been on this and experienced dry, rash, itchy skin around vagina. If so how did you deal with it.

I was to embarrassed to ask anyone at the hospital today.

Thanks

This was the first symptom I had with a UTI, it was sooooo sore and itchy and enflamed. Vagasil did help the itch, but get the doctors to check, if the dip comes back ok insist they send it to the lab as only 50% of infections show up on the dip, all the best x
